Travelling can be refreshing, but it doesn’t always mean pressing pause on work. For business travellers and remote professionals alike, the challenge is staying productive without losing the rhythm of your daily routine.
At Vhelbherg Imperial Hotel, we host many guests who are on the move but still need to stay focused. Whether you’re in town for meetings, working remotely, or simply blending business with leisure, here are practical tips to help you maintain your work routine while travelling.
1. Stick to a Consistent Wake-Up Time
Travelling often means changing time zones, but one of the best ways to stay grounded is to wake up at the same time each day, ideally close to your usual time at home. This helps your body maintain its rhythm and gives structure to your day.
Bonus tip: draw the curtains, let natural light in, and give yourself a few quiet minutes before reaching for your phone or laptop.
2. Create a Dedicated Work Space
Working from the bed may be tempting, but it often leads to distraction and fatigue. That’s why all our suites at Vhelbherg are equipped with ergonomic workstations, proper lighting, and high-speed internet, so you can plug in and get to work comfortably.
If you prefer a change of scenery, try our business lounge or a quiet spot in the restaurant during non-peak hours.
3. Plan Your Day the Night Before
Just like you would at home, spend a few minutes each evening mapping out the next day. Set clear priorities, block time for calls or meetings, and leave space for breaks. The more structured your plan, the easier it is to stay productive while navigating a different environment.
We also recommend scheduling tasks around hotel check-in/out times, room cleaning schedules, or time needed to explore the city.
4. Use Technology Wisely
Take advantage of productivity tools that help you work smarter. Apps like Notion, Trello, or Google Calendar can keep you organized across time zones. Need to join a meeting? Vhelbherg’s Wi-Fi is fast, stable, and accessible throughout the hotel, including common areas and private suites.
Pro tip: carry a portable charger and noise-canceling headphones to stay on track while on the go.
5. Protect Your Downtime
One of the easiest ways to burn out while travelling is to work nonstop. Build in intentional breaks to step outside, enjoy a good meal, or explore your surroundings. Slow mornings, early dinners, or short walks in between meetings can help you recharge.
And when it’s time to log off, let yourself fully relax. Our rooms are designed to feel like a retreat, not an office.
Final Thoughts
Maintaining a work routine while travelling isn’t about being rigid, it’s about staying balanced. With the right environment, a bit of planning, and moments of calm built in, you can stay productive and enjoy your time away.
At Vhelbherg Imperial Hotel, we’ve created a space where work feels effortless, and rest comes naturally.
